DOVER -- Armed with a deep passion to empower women, co-founders Carrie Tyler and Kim Grenon launched a workshop series and documentary project called Shakti Revolution which will be coming to Rasamaya Movement Center Studio in Dover on Dec 1-2.

The platform aims to empower women through movement workshops, photography, writing, and film.

Tyler, an acclaimed movement teacher and specialist in women’s structural issues explains, “Every woman has a story to share and a fundamental right to exist in the power of her own individual truth. We recognize that when you pull back the veil of the heart, all women have experienced the same emotions within the structure of their body regardless of race, background and culture.”

The Shakti Revolution workshop utilizes yoga, meditation, music, and Thai Bodywork as tools to help women to dive deeply into their emotional body in a safe and supportive environment. The emotional themes explored in the Shakti Revolution workshops will offer structure to the Shakti interviews that participants will be invited to be involved in. The documentary project was created as a way for women to share their stories with the world and will utilize an iPad and/or iPhone to capture all photography and video footage. Grenon, a mom blogger, will offer her services as the duo’s videographer.

The creators are strongly motivated to the idea of paying it forward in the world and are donating 25% of the profit from the workshop to Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS). They will also be offering scholarships to those who can’t afford the workshop but would like to attend.

After landing at Rasamaya in Dover, Tyler & Grenon begin an international tour in 2013 which will take them to India, Australia, Guatemala and Turkey.
